There seems to be an encrypted file somewhere looking to be found :). I eventually found a truecrypt file dave.tc in the /root directory.

I tried cracking this truecrypt file using the truecrack tool "truecrack -t dave.tc -w r0cky0u.txt -v", and it took me some hours to realise there might just be a more efficient way to do this.

I went back to my hint again, and then it struck me – "we know what academy we went to". So yeah, grep to the rescue "grep -n "academy" r0cky0u.txt > academy.txt". With this, I got a new set of wordlist with words containing "academy".

Then I ran this in my terminal "truecrack -t dave.tc -w academy.txt -v" and I got the password after some minutes – "etonacademy".

I mounted this using Veracrypt, put in the password "etonacademy" and found our flag.txt in this directory /.secret/.top

Conclusion

Thanks to the team at VulnHub for hosting this CTF challenge. The challenge was fun, and I learnt new stuffs like using truecrack to crack a Truecrypt volume.
